But What If You Try… and It Changes Your Entire Life?

But what if you try… and it changes your entire life? We chose to leave behind a more conventional life and sail the world together as a family. We didn't know exactly where that decision would take us—we just knew we wanted to find out. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't trying and failin...

We Didn’t Choose an Easier Life

We didn’t choose an easier life. We chose the life we wanted. Living aboard and sailing the world as a family isn’t always convenient — but the hard days, incredible places, friendships, and adventures are all part of it. #SailingBigLost #SailingFamily #BoatLife #FamilyAdventure #SailingLife

We Came to Tahiti to Fix One Problem…

After waiting out 30-knot winds in Cook’s Bay, Moorea, we finally get the weather window we need to make the short trip to Tahiti — where we’re hoping to finally get some answers about an electrical problem that has been following us for months.

Maybe “someday” is closer than we think. We chose a different kind of life—one with more time together, more adventure, and a lot less waiting. ⛵ Sailing Big Lost #SailingFamily #SailingLife #FamilyAdventure #BoatLife #Liveaboard
Things That Make Absolutely No Sense on Land

Things That Make Absolutely No Sense on Land

Living on a sailboat gives “normal life” a whole new meaning. 😂 We take a boat to get diesel, hoist our transportation out of the water, work out on a moving floor, sail our home through the night… and sometimes wake up in a completely different neighborhood. Somehow, this all feels completely nor...

We Needed to Leave… But the Weather Had Other Plans

We needed to get Big Lost to Tahiti. After dealing with alternator problems off and on since Saint Martin, there’s an alternator specialist in Tahiti who can finally help us figure out what’s going on.

We’re Trapped in Paradise… So This Is Boat Life Today

We only needed to sail three hours to Tahiti… but 25–30 knot winds had other plans. So instead, we’re waiting it out in Cooks Bay, Moorea—homeschooling, working out, watercoloring, baking cookies and finding ways to pass the time. There are definitely worse places to wait out the weather. ⛵️🌴 Follow...

Somehow, This Became Normal | Living on a Sailboat

Living on a sailboat has completely changed our definition of normal.
